## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- MA014-112: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA014-112----. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.
- MA015-015: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA015-015----. In lowlying damp pasture, located immediately to W of a stream/drain. Ground rises gradually to E of the stream. This rath is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but is shown on the 1922 edition. It consists of a slightly raised circular area (19.4m E-W; 19.5m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank is best preserved on the W half (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.1m), but is degraded and less substantial at E (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) where it retains only a low internal lip. The interior slopes down slightly to E, and has an uneven surface, from which clusters of large and medium-sized stone protrude. In the N half of the interior is a slight rise (Wth c. 1m; H 0.1-0.2m) curving W-N-E. The arc (c. 8-10m E-W) is barely discernible and difficult to interpret. Immediately outside the rath at W there is a band (Wth c. 7m) of thick, rushy vegetation, outside which is a broad, slightly raised undulation; it is unclear if these features are indicative of outer enclosing elements. Outside the bank at S is a berm (Wth c. 2m) of slightly sloping ground, bordered by a narrow gully on an E-W axis –probably the remains of a relatively modern drain. There is a possible burnt mound (MA015-075----) 20m to W. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 November 2018
- MA015-075: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA015-075----. In lowlying expanse of rough damp pasture. Low, roughly circular mound (10.7m N-S; 9.6m E-W; H 0.4m) situated on the SE side of a natural rise. It is composed of a dense concentration of small angular stones in a matrix of dark brown soil that contrasts with the orange-brown soil elsewhere in the field. There is a rath (MA015-015----) is c. 20m to E. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 December 2018

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
